IPCC Third Assessment Report - Working Groups

Working Groups

The IPCC is organized as three working groups (WG) and a task force :

  • WGI: Scientific aspects of climate (see IPCC TAR WG1 2001).
  • WGII: Vulnerability, consequences, and options (see IPCC TAR WG2 2001).
  • WGIII: Limitation and mitigation options (see IPCC TAR WG3 2001).
  • Task Force: National Greenhouse Gas Inventories Programme

WG I covers the same areas as the Second Assessment Report (SAR) of 1995, but WG II & III cover slightly different areas in the TAR.

Famous quotes containing the words working and/or groups:

    My whole working philosophy is that the only stable happiness for mankind is that it shall live married in blessed union to woman-kind—intimacy, physical and psychical between a man and his wife. I wish to add that my state of bliss is by no means perfect.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Under weak government, in a wide, thinly populated country, in the struggle against the raw natural environment and with the free play of economic forces, unified social groups become the transmitters of culture.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
